The GLA 45 AMG was recently previewed by a concept at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show and is slated to have sporty styling, high-performance brakes and a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 360 HP (265 kW) and 450 Nm (331 lb-ft) of torque. The engine will be connected to a seven-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT dual-clutch transmission and an AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive system which should enable the model to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in less than five seconds.

The S600 Maybach, on the other hand, will reportedly be an extra-long wheelbase model that measures approximately 5.5 meters (18 feet) long. The model is also slated to have a 2+2 seating arrangement and a 5.5-liter V12 engine that develops 585 HP (430 kW).

I will reserve final judgement for when the camo comes off. That said from what we can see the car looks like a stretched aftermarket job by a limo company in LA.
Not in the least a "look at me, I deserve respect" look at all.

MB seems to have listed the wrong transmission for the S 65 AMG in the specs above. Expected the AMG Speedshift 7G-TRONIC Plus? The specs only show the S 600 in LWB, and not in SWB as previous rumors indicated. Thus for now there might only be the LWB. The SWB still might show up lateron or was cancelled? Fuel consumption dropped a lot, from 14.2 l/km with the M275 to only 11.3 l/km with the new M277 now, while adhering to even stricter EU6 instead of EU5. That's about as much as the 2011 S550 used. A "V12 diesel"?
